ECCS-1542224Third Arab-American Frontiers of Science, Engineering, and Medicine Symposium:A unique opportunity to engage the next generation of S&T leaders Abstract:Non-Technical Summary:Interdisciplinary scientific collaboration plays an important role in addressing global challenges that impact every region across the world. These challenges often require national, as well as cross-boundary approaches. The Arab-American Frontiers Symposium is a unique type of gathering that convenes outstanding young scientists, engineers, and medical professionals from the United States and the Arab region to discuss exciting advances and opportunities in their fields. The third symposium will be held on December 5-7, 2015 in partnership with the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia and the National Academies under the overarching theme of "Sensing Technologies, Networks and Applications". The program is participant-driven and is therefore an excellent opportunity for the symposium's attendees to strengthen their leadership, communication and organizational skills and expand their professional network. In addition, by convening a group of participants which is diverse not only in research fields, but also geographically, the Arab American Frontiers symposia will build bridges between countries and promote science diplomacy. Thus, the Arab-American Frontiers program can forge partnerships at an early career stage to improve scientific, engineering and medical research in the United States and the Arab region and build successful long-term collaborative activities among future S&T leaders.Technical Summary:The Arab-American Frontiers of Science, Engineering, and Medicine program brings together outstanding young scientists, engineers, and medical professionals from the United States and the 21 countries of the Arab League for a symposium to discuss cutting-edge scientific and technological advances in their fields. The third symposium will be hosted by the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) on its campus in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia. The symposium has three objectives: (1) Enhance scientific dialogue and exchange among young researchers in Arab countries and the United States; (2) Encourage and strengthen scientific collaboration and the transfer of techniques and approaches across disciplines within and beyond the region; and (3) Empower young researchers to assume leadership roles. During the symposium, U.S. and Arab scientists, engineers and medical professionals will discuss major scientific advances on a wide array of topics under the overarching theme of "Sensing Technologies, Networks and Applications". The symposium will cover advances in discovery of new materials, design of new sensor platforms and networks, and ingenious management, assimilation and interpretation of data and our ever increasing need to understand our changing world from molecular to planetary scales. The experience is intellectually stimulating and generates a dialogue across disciplines considered as key for scientific innovation. These exchanges on cutting-edge scientific knowledge among U.S. and Arab participants take place through: five plenary sessions covering a wide range of disciplines; poster presentations by each participant; educational exhibits, and informal discussions. Following the symposium, Arab American Frontiers fellowships (travel seed grants) are awarded to pairs of participants who intend to collaborate on a research topic of common interest.

ECCS-1542224THIRD ARAB-AREF-AREFERIAN科学，工程和医学研讨会：参与下一代S＆T领导者摘要的独特机会：非技术摘要：跨学科的科学合作在解决世界各地每个地区的全球挑战方面起着重要的作用。这些挑战通常需要国家以及跨界方法。 阿拉伯裔美国边界研讨会是一种独特的聚会类型，召集了来自美国和阿拉伯地区的杰出年轻科学家，工程师和医疗专业人员，讨论其领域的令人兴奋的进步和机会。第三届研讨会将于2015年12月5日至7日与沙特阿拉伯的阿卜杜拉科学技术大学（KAUST）和国家学院合作，并以“传感技术，网络，应用和应用”为主题。该计划是由参与者驱动的，因此是研讨会的参与者增强其领导，沟通和组织技能并扩大专业网络的绝佳机会。此外，通过召集一群参与者，这些参与者不仅在研究领域，而且在地理上是多样的，阿拉伯美国边境研讨会将在国家之间建立桥梁并促进科学外交。 Thus, the Arab-American Frontiers program can forge partnerships at an early career stage to improve scientific, engineering and medical research in the United States and the Arab region and build successful long-term collaborative activities among future S&T leaders.Technical Summary:The Arab-American Frontiers of Science, Engineering, and Medicine program brings together outstanding young scientists, engineers, and medical professionals from the United States and the 21 countries of the Arab League for a symposium to discuss尖端的科学和技术进步。第三次研讨会将由阿卜杜拉国王科学技术大学（KAUST）在其位于沙特阿拉伯塔瓦尔的校园内主持。研讨会有三个目标：（1）加强阿拉伯国家和美国的年轻研究人员之间的科学对话和交流； （2）鼓励和加强科学合作以及该地区内外学科的技术和方法的转移； （3）授权年轻研究人员扮演领导角色。在研讨会期间，美国和阿拉伯科学家，工程师和医学专业人员将讨论有关“传感技术，网络和应用程序”的总体主题的广泛主题的重大科学进步。研讨会将涵盖发现新材料，新传感器平台和网络的设计以及数据的巧妙管理，同化和解释数据的进步，以及我们不断增长的需求，了解从分子到行星量表的不断变化的世界。这种经验是在智力上刺激的，并在被认为是科学创新的关键的学科中引起了对话。这些关于美国和阿拉伯参与者之间尖端科学知识的交流是通过：五个全体会议涵盖了广泛的学科；每个参与者的海报演示；教育展览和非正式讨论。在研讨会之后，阿拉伯美国边境奖学金（Travel Seed Grants）授予打算在一个共同兴趣的研究主题的参与者成对的成对上。
